Myantispyware team discovered a new variant of the “I’m a programmer who cracked your email account” Email Scam. This scam differs from the original version in that its creators changed some letters in the message. They inserted ‘é’ instead of ‘e’. Otherwise, everything remains the same. Like before, this bitcoin blackmail scam spreads via spam emails. The scam is sent out to thousands of emails at a time.
